You’ve written down your wish list, you know what you
want and what date you want it by, and you’ve
patiently been waiting for the “stuff” to fall into your
lap. So where is it? What’s the missing
piece, and why hasn’t it come to you yet? According
to the popular philosophy of the Law of
Attraction, you haven’t yet
allowed it into your life. How do you
allow it into your life?
You relax, feel more joy, appreciate what you have and
choose positive thoughts instead of dwelling on fear or
scarcity. This raises your vibration. Your
job is to raise your vibration.
How can you possibly focus on joy and appreciation when
your life is full of pain, strife, angst or past memories
that scare you? You use EFT!
We’ve all done plenty of asking, plenty of telling the
universe who and what we want in our lives.
The missing piece is that we don’t know how to get out
of our own way and open the door. Enter
EFT.
LAW of ATTRACTION:
The Law of Attraction is
ALWAYS working for us. For those of you who’ve seen
The Secret, What the
Bleep Do We Know, or been following the
Abraham-Hicks work, (just to name a few) you know
what the Law of Attraction is
--- the popular term to describe why we have what we
have or experience in our lives. It means
“like attracts like” no matter what. If you
vibrate in fear, you will be delivered more experiences
that cause fear. If you vibrate in a joyful place, you
will bump into more experiences that bring you joy.
Pretend your thoughts and vibrations are like slow
moving boomerangs…they always come back to you.
RAISING YOUR VIBRATION:
The theory of this metaphysical “Law” of the
Universe states that whatever we are feeling or
vibrating (not what we are saying)
is what is communicating our energetic “position” or
posture to the Universe. The Universe then “hears”
this vibration we are emitting, and then
matches it by returning to us similar
experiences to produce more of the same feeling and
vibration. (This is why I have been obsessed with
using the Gratitude List and Gratitude Walk that I talk
about in my book. When I use these tools along with
EFT, I immediately improve my vibration
which in turn magnetizes into my life the desires I have
been focused on.)
Many people misinterpret the principles behind the
Law of Attraction, and think they can
“fool” the Universe by pretending that they are
joyful. This is not possible, as the Universe reads
your vibration, not what you say or do.
The key points of this article are:
(1) The Law of Attraction is
always operating
(2) The Universe “hears” your vibration/energy,
not your words
(3) Knowing about this Law allows you to have more
power in your life and feel/ be less of a victim
(4) You DO have control over your vibration if you
make choices about your thoughts and focus
(5) EFT is one of the fastest and
easiest ways to change your vibration
So when you use EFT to release any
negativity and conflict in your energy system, you will
naturally be vibrating in a more positive, uplifting
space. Then the LAW of ATTRACTION,
which is always working, will bring you more of the
positive things that you have been asking for. It’s
a perfect match.
Think about all the pieces of EFT ---
(1) choosing a specific problem, (2) affirming that you
deeply and completely love and accept yourself no matter
what, and (3) tapping on the points in your energy system
and relieving the stress, tension, and conflict that has
been stored there. What a wonderful way to raise
your vibration!
What do you want to attract in your life?
Professional success, money, love, friendships, joy,
peace, spiritual depth, happiness? It’s all available, but
you need to know how to control your “vibration” which is
in direct communication with the Universe. We need
to use the Law of Attraction to
our advantage since it’s working 24 hours a day for us
anyway.
In his recently released serious diseases DVD series, Gary
Craig described how the hurtful or traumatic events in our
lives drain and reduce the effectiveness of our immune
system over time. This makes perfect common sense.
When we have negative feelings and don’t find ways to
relieve or express them, we eventually run our immune
systems down and we end up in a compromised physiological
place. Then we are a favorable “host” for the flu
bug or cold virus circulating in our environment.
The same is true for our vibration. When we run
ourselves down by focusing on negative thoughts, painful
experiences, or upsetting what if’s, we lower our
vibration which the Universe then answers. (Remember
the image of a slow moving boomerang…)
RESPONSIBILITY:
Using the theory behind the Law of
Attraction is NOT a system of blame! It is
an explanation of responsibility and an opportunity to
take back control of your life and stop being a victim.
We have all attracted negative things into our lives from
time to time, some more than others. When people
argue, “but I didn’t want that bad thing to happen…”
you can bet that at some point, and definitely over time,
they were inadvertently focusing on negativity,
resentment, and probably fear. We all do it, we all
attract negative things into our lives, and we are all
afraid much of the time...it comes with being human. However,
we have many more tools at our disposal now to reduce the
fear, transform the powerlessness, and increase our
genuine joy. It’s an individual decision
whether we want to pick up and practice using these tools
or not.
PATIENCE:
It is also important to note that the Law
of Attraction mechanism is carried out by
the Universe in a “big picture way.” You don’t have
a resentful or fearful thought at 10:00 in the morning,
and get a flat tire at noon. It’s about your
overall vibration on particular
subjects, your accumulated vibration, and this is
something you can change and influence in a very short
period of time. So consider being patient, believing
that what you want is on its way to you, and work on
raising your overall vibration.
Everyone oversimplifies the issue and manages to turn it
around again into victimhood. Why did
the universe send this to me??? They
ask…Because they were pulsing, vibrating, communicating
that same level of vibration that was returned to them, on
some subtle level in their energy system by focusing on
resentment, pain, hurt, anger or feeling powerless.
We all do it, we all have done it, and we all will
continue to do it in our lives. But now we can
choose to do it less, relieve the feelings, take back our
power, and harness the incredible power of the
Law of Attraction. Remember, this
“law” works as often and as predictably as gravity, so
it’s up to you what targets you want to offer it.
The Law of Attraction has
perfect aim.
“I wouldn’t have asked for the flu” you
protest… No, you wouldn’t have and neither did I last
winter, but I did communicate resistance, tension, fear,
and irritation for a long time before I weakened my immune
system enough to allow myself to react to the flu bug.
In other words, I had to be ready, or a favorable “host”
for it. (I also still “expect” to get sick at some
point in the winter…another vibration I can work on
changing.)
Remember, WE ALL DO IT. If any of you are
hearing blame, you are not hearing me and what I am saying
in this article. We all use the
Law of Attraction in our daily
life, why not use it for our benefit, rather than to hurt
us or slow our progress down?
GRATITUDE:
If you want more in your life to be
grateful for, focus on the appreciation you already feel
for what and who you have in your life. Try the
gratitude list or gratitude walk I talk about in my
newsletters, or my gratitude tapping sequences from other
articles. This all you need to attract
outrageous success and abundance into your life: (1) Law
of Attraction, (2) EFT, and (3) An Attitude of Gratitude.
Try a marathon of gratitude tapping and measure how you
feel afterwards, and what tail-enders surface. Start
by addressing the genuine mood or feeling state you feel
right now, then move into appreciation and gratitude.
Karate chop point: Even though I
feel a little down right now, I choose to focus on
positive emotions…Even though I don’t feel very positive
right now, I accept who I am and how I feel…Even though
I’m wallowing in self-pity right now, I accept all of me
and how I feel.
EYEBROW: I’m always afraid of
what might happen
SIDE OF EYE: What if something bad
happens to me?
UNDER EYE: I feel the fear in my
vibration every day
NOSE: I can feel the fear no
matter what I do
CHIN: I don’t feel safe unless I’m
feeling worried
COLLARBONE: I’m afraid to let go
of my fear
UNDER ARM: I don’t know how to
feel any other way
HEAD: What if I can’t let go of my
fear?
EYEBROW: I’m always afraid of
what might happen
SIDE OF EYE: What if something bad
happens to me?
UNDER EYE: I feel the fear in my
vibration every day
NOSE: I can feel the fear no
matter what I do
CHIN: I don’t feel safe unless I’m
feeling worried
COLLARBONE: I’m afraid to let go
of my fear
UNDER ARM: I don’t know how to
feel any other way
HEAD: What if I can’t let go of my
fear?
After you have relieved the sensation of chronic fear
in you mind and body with EFT, move
towards more positive and appreciative thoughts and
statements:
EYEBROW: I love feeling grateful
SIDE OF EYE: I choose to feel good
no matter what
UNDER EYE: I feel appreciation for
being alive
NOSE: I love who I am and how I
feel
CHIN: I’m grateful for my life
COLLARBONE: I appreciate so much
in my life
UNDER ARM: I’m grateful for the
clarity in my life
HEAD: I love feeling so joyful
EYEBROW: I love feeling good
SIDE OF EYE: I appreciate feeling
so grateful
UNDER EYE: I appreciate who I am
NOSE: I love who I am becoming
CHIN: I’m grateful for all my
feelings
COLLARBONE: I appreciate the
guidance I am getting
UNDER ARM: I’m grateful for who I
am
HEAD: I love feeling such joy
Stay tuned for part 2 of this article about combining
EFT and the Law of Attraction.
Carol Look, EFT Master
As a refresher, the following is from part 1 of
this series:
The key points of this article are:
(1) The Law of Attraction is
always operating
(2) The Universe “hears” your vibration/energy,
not your words
(3) Knowing about this “Law” allows you to have more
power in your life and feel and be less of a victim
(4) You DO have control over your vibration if you
make choices about your thoughts and focus
(5) EFT is one of the fastest and
easiest ways to change your vibration
Using EFT and LOA TOGETHER:
So the million dollar question I answer a dozen times a
week through emails, and hundreds of times in my
Law of Attraction workshops is ...But
EFT makes you focus on the negative, won’t that make you
attract more negativity into your life and make things
worse?
Good question. I have
studied, experimented, pondered and come to the conclusion
that the answer is a resounding “NO.” After
10 years of doing EFT, I can safely say
that my personal and professional experiments have
determined that EFT and the
Law of Attraction are a perfect match.
We need to STOP TRYING TO RESIST OUR REAL FEELINGS.
EFT allows us to name them, feel them,
and release them. Once this step is done, you are in
a vibrational position to allow into your life (or
magnetize) what you want.
When we use EFT and target an emotion
(what I call the truth) you have pinpointed the feeling
that is causing your vibration anyway… you are already
feeling that way, so why not call it what it is?
EFT is effective in direct proportion to
the “truth” you are able to tell and the bullseyes you are
able to hit. So instead of saying “I’m upset with
her” I recommend you say words that more deeply resonate
with the truth: I feel enraged at what she did and it
wasn’t fair. This allows you get more of a “hit” and
more of a positive result with EFT as you
have nailed it on the head. EFT
is the fastest tool I have ever come across to identify,
address and clear an issue and find immediate relief.
The event itself doesn’t change, but your experience,
memory, and perception of it and emotions about it change.
What more could we ask for?
And when you feel relief, the Law of
Attraction is “listening” and allows into your life (by
sending you) more of what you were asking for, whether it
is relationships, money, opportunities or clients.
FEELING vs. PRETENDING:
When the real feeling (the
one you’ve been trying to hide in your daily life) is
finally addressed with EFT and soothed in
your thoughts, mind, and body, you free yourself to
vibrate in a more grateful, peaceful, joyful place, to
which Law of Attraction then
responds and adds more joy and more reasons for gratitude.
Consider this...
(1) People think that just because they’re pretending they
don’t hate their boss, that they’re not exuding anger or
vibrating negativity and resistance. Humans are very
transparent, so our feelings “show.”
(2) People think a few seconds of EFT
where they focus on a “negative” feeling is an eternity.
They ignore the fact that they have spent 23 hours
pushing hard against a feeling of fear,
then worry about a few seconds of EFT.
When they are asked to focus on the negative feelings,
there is a direct connection to their vibration.
This allows the deep feeling to finally be relieved.
It’s very quick...there is no wallowing in EFT...
(3) EFT allows you to clear the decks
which makes space for peace and joy in your life.
So once again, it’s all about relief.
Even saying well-formed setup phrases allow people to feel
more joyful and relaxed.
When you feel relieved, the “stuff” you have “asked for”
receives an invitation to show up for you, through many
unusual channels. When you use EFT
to get relief, you instantly vibrate in a better place,
and voila, the manifestations start to appear.
What stuff? Relationships, money, career
opportunities, love, peace, coincidences, guidance,
serendipity etc., you name it. I have actually had
to stop some of my own “experiments” as I haven’t quite
caught up yet with what I am receiving.
So stop pretending you aren’t hurt by what happened.
Stop pretending that you’ve forgiven everyone when the
truth is you’re seething mad inside. The
Universe hears your vibration, not your words.
Use EFT to target the feelings and
release them once and for all, and allow peace into your
life.
Once you have cleared the negativity with EFT,
you can be assured you have opened the door a little more
to let into your life whatever you have been asking for,
writing about, and visualizing.
Karate chop point:
Even though I have been too embarrassed to admit my
hurt, I accept who I am and how hurt I really was by
him…Even though I didn’t want to admit I was hurt, so I
pretended I wasn’t, I choose to express it now…Even though
I felt devastated, I accept who I am and how I feel about
it.
EYEBROW: I was so hurt by what
happened
SIDE OF EYE: I’ve been pretending
I wasn’t hurt
UNDER EYE:I’ve been so hurt all
along
NOSE: I thought I was supposed to
forgive him
CHIN: But I wasn’t ready
COLLARBONE: I still feel hurt
UNDER ARM: I feel hurt by what
happened
HEAD: I need to admit my hurt
EYEBROW: I was deeply hurt and
couldn’t get over it
SIDE OF EYE: I kept trying not to
be hurt
UNDER EYE: It feels so good to say
it out loud
NOSE: The truth is I’ve never
gotten over it
CHIN: It feels so good to admit
the truth
COLLARBONE: I can finally say it
out loud
UNDER ARM: I’m ready to release it
HEAD: It’s time to release the
hurt after all these years.
Using EFT in this way allows you to release
the real pain instead of spending all that energy trying
not to feel hurt! Now you will be in an
emotional and energetic position to feel more grateful and
allow yourself to feel relief and joy.
FEAR:
Fear definitely keeps you in a lower
vibration and delays the magnetization of
what you want. I find that EFT is
the easiest way to relieve this feeling and change your
focus. Remember, when you change your focus, you
vibrate in a different place, and attract different (more
positive) things into your life.
A client of mine was very afraid of her negative
thoughts but she spent most of her waking hours using
tricks and affirmations to try and help her
push away the fear and push away these
thoughts. This always backfires, as she spent all
her energy actually focused on the negativity
rather than on something positive by trying so hard NOT to
think about these feelings. This of course means she
was ultimately focused on her fears anyway, as all her
waking hours were spent trying not to be
fearful!
(You might want to try and substitute “I’m afraid of my
negative thoughts” for the sentences below if you related
to the above story.)
Karate chop point: Even though I’m
deeply afraid of what might happen, I accept who I am and
how I feel…Even though I live with these fears every day,
I am willing to consider relieving them now…Even though
I’m afraid not to feel fear, I accept who I am and how I
feel.
EYEBROW: I’m always afraid of
what might happen
SIDE OF EYE: What if something bad
happens to me?
UNDER EYE: I feel the fear in my
vibration every day
NOSE: I can feel the fear no
matter what I do
CHIN: I don’t feel safe unless I’m
feeling worried
COLLARBONE: I’m afraid to let go
of my fear
UNDER ARM: I don’t know how to
feel any other way
HEAD: What if I can’t let go of my
fear?
Now that you have voiced the real feelings,
you are able to gently guide the client and can make the
easy transition into more positive statements and
vibrations. If the client objects to “positive”
statements, they will hear “tail-enders” surface such as
“no I’m not” or “that’s not true” or
something that counters the positive statements.
This is good news! You now
have more information and targets for tapping. When
their tail-enders surface, be happy you are getting to the
core issues! But try a positive round first to see
where it lands.
EYEBROW: I will consider letting
go if my fear
SIDE OF EYE: I’m afraid to let go
of my fear
UNDER EYE: I intend to be freer
and lighter
NOSE: I love feeling peaceful
more often
CHIN: I’m ready to let go of my
fear
COLLARBONE: I love feeling
grateful about my life
UNDER ARM: There is so much to
feel grateful for
HEAD: I appreciate who I am and
how I am living
POWERLESSNESS:
Of course the feeling of powerlessness is overwhelming
and lowers our vibration immediately. Usually it is
perceived powerlessness, rather
than actual powerlessness, but it doesn’t matter, it’s the
feeling that counts, not the reality of the situation!
For those of us who suffer from feelings of
powerlessness, we need to find ways to feel more powerful,
and using EFT is a wonderful tool.
Karate chop point: Even
though I have no control in this situation, and it makes
me anxious, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
anyway…Even though I feel powerless, AGAIN, I choose to
feel calm and peaceful…Even though I feel out of control
and powerless, I love and accept all of me anyway.
EYEBROW: I feel powerless
SIDE OF EYE: I feel out of control
UNDER EYE: I hate feeling
powerless
NOSE: I want more control
CHIN: I’m afraid of what might
happen
COLLARBONE:I’m afraid of not
having control
UNDER ARM: I want to feel more
power in my life
HEAD: I don’t want to feel so weak
EYEBROW: I still feel powerless
SIDE OF EYE: I want to feel strong
UNDER EYE: I hate feeling weak and
powerless
NOSE: I hate feeling so down
about it all
CHIN: I want to feel better
COLLARBONE: I still feel
powerless
UNDER ARM: I want to feel better
HEAD: I will consider feeling
better
Now you and your clients are in a position
to take in the gratitude tapping:
EYEBROW: I love appreciating who
I am
SIDE OF EYE: I love receiving what
I want
UNDER EYE: I am so grateful for my
life
NOSE: I appreciate all my
feelings
CHIN: I feel better already
COLLARBONE: I love feeling so
confident and strong
UNDER ARM: I love the clarity in
my life
HEAD: I appreciate the guidance I
am receiving
In closing, ask yourself how quickly you want to
manifest more of your desires, small and large. If
you are eager to manifest them sooner rather than later, I
highly recommend using EFT to clear the
blocks and neutralize the limiting beliefs. This
will allow all that you have been asking for to come in
your front door. Remember, the Law of
Attraction is always working, but with
EFT, we help it work for us and not
against us.
